Iverson is the type of player that came in and have had the same type of game and skill set - unchanged, unimproved, and yet untarnished. He just has that raw ability. His game has longevity but much of it is due to smaller guys' luxury when it comes to legs. You can't say he really became better at one thing. His range has been always less than 42-45% his entire career. He either has to shoot a lot, or work off a dribble and fearlessly use his body down low (in fairness, he has been an exceptional distributor as well as we see more in Denver). I am trying to say he has been this way for a long time. I see Wade pretty much going in this direction as well. I don't see Wade developing any further than how he plays now - scrappy, fearless, and a so so range.

Wade has improved his range each year that he's been in the league and now he has a good solid midrange game all the way out to 21 ft. When he first came into the league, he had VERY limited range probably to about 15 ft and his jumpshot was very inconsistant. He's even become really good at comming off the screen with the catch and shoot while using the glass I might add. I really don't understand why people continue to say that Wade won't improve or that he can't shoot when he's defied that logic time and time again.

Patrick27 I'd define prime of their careers to mean their value is the highest. Previous years were worse, and I don't anticipate future years to be better. We'll look back and appreciate their contributions most for this year.

You have got to be kidding me.. Your rekon a 2006/07 Mcdyss is more prime than a 1998/99 Mcdyss....
